I found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine - one of my favorite sources for recipes. The spices really bring out a nice flavor in the fish. My 10-year old son, whose favorite foods are normally grilled cheese sandwiches and macaroni and cheese, loves this dish! We have it often.

This recipe tends to "stink" up your kitchen, so open a window, turn on the fan, etc. Better yet, if weather permits, use a cast-iron pan and cook it on your outside grill!
